It seems that I won't be able to make it to LPG tonight so I'll be doing a Reader's service at home. All's well and good until after the Prokeimenon when LPG would normally start and, as such, there's no stichera for the Aposticha in the Triodion. What would one use in such a situation: the stichera from the Octoechos or from Matins or something else entirely?

There is a supplimental Triodion book by Light and Life. That should have it. I will look into the details tonight at chapel and let you know. I am assuming you are asking for the 1st LPG, and in general at the same time. So I will search with this in mind.

I would say also in general you start with the Menaion and then go to the Octoechos, if the Triodion does not have it. The octoechos is a filler for when there isn't anything in the other books.

I'm gona look up the 1st LPG tonight and let you know what I see...

Thanks! I figured that the Octoechos was the way to go. I don't have the supplementary material for the Triodion, yet. I probably won't be getting it this time around but plan to have it for next year. It's good to know that it's in there, though.

And I'm Catholic, so we're actually in the 4th week of Great Lent...can't wait until 2010 when the calendars are matched up again!

If you don't have the Tridion available the Aposticha from Sunday Vespers of the Great Fast which are from the Tridion and are geared to the themes of the Great Fast make more sense to use liturgically than those from the Octoechos which on Wedensday evening are for the Apostles and Friday evening are for the Martyrs and the Departed. Of course that is just a suggestion. The Typikon actually states that if the Presanctified is not celebrated, at the Aposticha , the Stichera (from the Evening Psalms) of the Triodion are repeated with the daily verses and Glory, now and ever... and the Stavrotheotokion of the Triodion

This makes sense, and is consistent with what I know. the only question I have is, which typikon...lol....?

Definitely. I agree. it is better to just use the ones from the feast of Sunday before, throughout the week if you have nothing.

I would assume from the original post (OP) that Schultz has something though...although that might be a wrong assumption.

CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC??

I am just having an issue with which part of the Presanctified you are talking about. After "kateuthinthito"? or what? thanks!

[modified to reflect size, and re ask a new question based on OP, in order to be noticed]

Shultz another option would be to use the Apostica from Sunday Vespers.

Thanks Fr. Deacon, I'll keep that in mind. I do have a copy of the Sunday Vespers (as well as the Daily Vespers book). At home I've been using the MCI texts along with the info from Fr. John Whiteford's reader's service horologion.

Indeed, I do see that in Fr. David's Typikon. My question arises from the fact that I the triodion texts I have do not have Stichera for the Aposticha. I've been using the Tridion texts provided by the Holy Myrrhbearer's Monastery in NY. I have them on a cd that Mother Raphaela graciously sent to me earlier this year which also contains their Menaion texts as well as the Octoechos and Pentecostarion. This cd has been invaluable in my home prayer life, particularly during Lent.

In the HM texts, on Wed and Fri during Lent, after the Prokiemenon, the phrase "-And the rest of the Presanctified Liturgy-" appears. Since there is no Aposticha during the LPG, and the nuns there presumably celebrate LPG on Wed and Fri, the stichera are not among the texts I have available. My question is if doing reader's vespers at home instead of attending LPG at my church and I don't have stichera for the Aposticha available, what should I use?

Thanks again to both of you for all your help.

What do you plan on doing for liturgy? just a reader's service for that?

Also, usually for wednesday and friday nights there are hymns set aside like in the Narthex Press books and other books.

Like I said, the supplemental book is very good. You also might want to try taking a look at the Triodion book by Bishop Kallistos. I am not in my room otherwise I would look at it myself and tell you.

Beyond that...if they don't exist, don't do them. it's not always necessary to just 'add' stuff. Leave that to the monks...lol.

What I planned on doing was instead of Presanctified Liturgy at church I would do a plain old reader's service Lenten Vespers at home

The supplement, as well as a real copy the Triodion of Bp. Kallistos and Mother Mary, is on the must have list by the end of the year so I'll have it available for next Lent.

That makes perfect sense. As usual, I'm overthinking things.

I just checked in the supplemental book...it has hymns including Aposticha for every day of the week this week, and then all of the days for the upcoming weeks of Lent. Bishop Kallistos' book is not as complete. It will just have presanctified and compline and the other major services, but none of the in-between stuff if you want it.

So yah...that's your best bet. Unless someone has some online resources for you, that's all I got.

Great, thanks for the confirmation. I'll definitely have that by next year, then.

Thanks again!
